Canada's population is 40 million. This would add 80ish (edit:) million more people to that. So, it's not Canada annexing the blue states, it's the blues states seceding and then annexing Canada to achieve territorial contiguity.
No annexing. The blue states join with Canada to establish a union of states. We could call it "United States" or something, or idk, I'm not good with names.
Gotta warn you though, seems the only nice piece of nature you'll get is on the border with BC and they did a real number on the environment in the north.
But you guys can probably actually fix it rather than celebrate CO2 like what these close are doing now with provincial legislature.
Yeah it is generally higher population density means more progressive. Maine is just weird. Even historically. Historically very pro-abolition, also pretty pro-women's suffrage, also very pro-prohibition. However the state also didn't start voting democrat till around the 60s or 70s. Fairly early legalizers of marijuana and also fairly quick for gay marriage.
I'm hearing a "cringe" here, though I've heard quite a few "based"s (no consesus as is tradition for leftist discourse) ... I think "based" is winning?
Yep, this is originally a righty post. That's why I'm so confused that it's actually kind of based. The rough consensus here is that it's based, so we have bi-partisan support. Let's get this on the Congress floor!
That really is difficult! Id suggest to just let the 'United States of Canada' vote on it after the next 'Jesusland' election. But I'm not from the US so I'm in no position to give a suggestion really.

Wisconsin can fuck off and die. But this will give Canadia control of most of the great lakes.

Since the remaining states are run by a convict, they could be the Con-federated States or something like that.

Let's be real, it's city vs. country no matter where you are.

Not even.
Maricopa County is effectively one giant suburb and the numbers were about 50-50 for each candidate.

It really isn't, Maine is rural af. We're called the South of the North for a reason. However we are weirdly progressive for how rural we are
mvirts@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
It's definitely not a clear cut rule, but generally places with higher population density vote more blue
Data from 2020 here: https://engaging-data.com/election-population-density/
I'm interested in how this is changing, my understanding is that many rural areas were more liberal historically.

Not even remotely based. States are not internally homogenous. "Let's take all the Democrats and job with Canada" is a shitlib take.

Better divide Oregon and Washington states in half. The east side of each state all voted red. Not sure how California voted.

So take from that what you will.

Based on what?
IceBlade@lemmynsfw.com · 8 pts · 1y
"Based" is just slang. It generally has a positive connotation. So the original poster is essentially asking if this is a good idea or not.
